(Let me rephrase.) What is a good way to end a highschool football movie if.....?
Everyone is on the field celebrating, team, fans, the whole town. Dad almost immediately begins talking about the "next step" in the boys' future. The brothers look at their dad and begin explaining how they've spent the last eight years of their lives doing everything their dad/coach told them to do. How they'd wanted to get everything down just right so that their dad would be proud or at least have something positive to say to them. The only person to seriously take notice of the brother's accomplishments is their little sister. As for the little sister, hero worship for her brothers had her talking football with them her whole life just to be around them. She knows as much about the game as any of them do. They then look at little sister, and hand her the MVP trophies that they have just earned. They tell her they always looked forward to her praise after each game, and that the trophies are for her because that's who they were playing for. Then they point at the championship trophy that dad is holding and they tell them that that piece of metal has just bought them their freedom. Possibly coach has went on about a championship trophy for the entire movie. The brothers say they're finished with the game forever, and walk off the field and away from all the celebrating toward the locker room.
